Becky the No Scratch works pretty well from my experience. Spotting can more but its extremely time consuming. I ran into that a while back. I wanted a wet print so scanned the neg, fixed it in photoshop and then sent that file out for a film recorder to create a neg for me. Then I could make as many wet prints as I wanted, deal with any cropping dodging an burning I wanted, and then most importantly for me tone them afterwards. Not ideal but an option. ----- Original Message ----- From: B.L.

I have printed some of them in the past but recently I just felt like spending some time printing a lot more of them. My question is how do I deal with all of the scratches in the negatives. I've never tried anything for scratches other than the grease from my face. While facial oils do work wonders, I don't have enough facial grease to deal with all the scratches. Becky Lynn
